My journey into Traditional Chinese Medicine began as a natural extension of my passion for holistic health and wellness. After working as a massage therapist and yoga instructor in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, I developed a deep appreciation for the interconnectedness of body and mind.

The desire to expand my knowledge and skills led me to explore acupuncture and its profound ability to address a wide range of health issues. I was particularly drawn to the principles of TCM, which align with my belief in treating the whole person rather than just symptoms.

• My experience in massage therapy, yoga instruction, and acupuncture allows me to integrate various healing modalities, offering a comprehensive approach to wellness.
• My doctoral research specifically emphasizes digestive issues and internal medicine, providing specialized knowledge in an area often overlooked in traditional practices.
• With a background in education, I am able to explain complex concepts in a relatable way, helping patients understand their treatment plans and fostering a collaborative healing environment.
• I prioritize not just physical health but also emotional well-being, addressing anxiety and hormonal imbalances to promote overall harmony in my patients’ lives.
